This blog will never ask members of the public or unqualified persons to make changes to or fiddle around with technical systems themselves.

In accordance with the Industrial Safety Regulation (BetrSichV), a qualified person must take care of a system which requires monitoring.

A qualified person is someone who has the specific specialist knowledge required. This knowledge is gained by way of a professional apprenticeship, corresponding professional experience or current occupational activity.
